SAP-WUG - to SDN or not to SDN, that is the question

I wholeheartedly agree but would like to add that I love the banter.
Usually, one of the comments makes my day.

Keep up the good work.

Regards,

Claude

Say it ain't so!

Good things about WUG
- delivered to your door; you can find out new stuff without looking for
it
- knowledgeable and helpful folk (the best in the world!)
- fast, easy, convenient
- incredibly valuable resource in emergencies

Bad things about SDN
- you have to make a conscious effort to search for a topic
- full of 'points monkeys' who post F1 help text and then beg for points
- slow website, slow search engine, incomplete results, unanswered
questions.

SAP are great at ERP software, but for some inexplicable reason their
websites are an embarrassment.

cheers
Paul

I would hope that any forum, either SDN or this one, would be OK for
"beginners".  I have posted questions with this group as well as the SDN
forum.  Either avenue works for me.  With SDN, more users are going away
from the ASUG discussion forums.  I found SDN helpful as long as the
person
giving
advice did not talk down or respond with links to other discussions.
While
there may be many threads for the same topic, I found it easier to just
post my question instead of trying to search through hundreds of
postings.

Just my two cents.

I agree too. It is difficult to find anything useful on SDN.
Most people there sound like beginners with tons of threads for the same
topic.
Also, this way we get to see new things which may not be needed right
away.

Agree with all comments. The WUG is more direct and a true specific
workflow forum. With no points "incentive" for useless answers like on
SDN.

Sherie, Mike, All,

I hear you loud and clear.  If others feel the same way, please reply
and
say WHY.  I don't mind keeping this list going as long as I can; as a
matter of fact, I enjoy it quite a bit.  But this list has no 'official'
status with SAP, and it is just by grace of good luck that we have some
excellent
SAP folks (you know who you are) on it.

If you feel that this list should continue, again, please state why...
why you like it, why other sources don't meet your needs, etc.

That, along with your $20 contribution, will keep SAP-WUG up and
running.


Kidding (about the $20) for those of you who don't know me, Sue
